South Korea on Edge: Yoon Suk Yeol's Trial Amid Safety Concerns
Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will skip the first hearing in his trial due to safety concerns, citing potential mishaps due to ongoing pressure from law enforcement. The situation represents a significant political challenge for South Korea, impacting its economy and governance stability.

Amid rising tensions, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will not attend the initial hearing of his impeachment trial due to concerns for his safety. His lawyer expressed apprehensions about law enforcement's attempts to arrest Yoon using dubious methods.
The Constitutional Court hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, and authorities plan another attempt to detain Yoon concerning a martial law imposition probe. A previous arrest effort was thwarted after a prolonged standoff.
Yoon's move to enact martial law has catapulted South Korea into severe political turmoil, potentially disrupting its economic growth trajectory and governance stability.
